In 1 Nephi 21, Nephi then quotes Isaiah 49, speaking of the day of the gentiles (Nephi’s stage 3). The key verses are: "Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the gentiles, and set up my standard to the people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms," describing how the gentiles will carry the sons of Israel—"in their arms and thy daughters shall be carried on their shoulders" (v. 22). And in verse 1, Isaiah mentions the isles of the sea, the widespread scattering of the House of Jacob. This chapter also tells how a particular servant will be raised up "for a light to the gentiles" (v. 6), that "kings shall see and arise," (v. 7), while messengers will be sent "to them that sit in darkness" (v. 9).
